The song was Gore's second most successful recording and her last top-ten single. On November 27, 2016, along with 24 other songs, the Grammy Hall of Fame announced its induction.

List Of Scott Pilgrim Characters
This article is a list of fictional characters in the comic book series ''Scott Pilgrim'' by Bryan Lee O'Malley and its film adaptation '' Scott Pilgrim vs. the World''.

Paste (magazine)
''Paste'' is a monthly music and entertainment digital magazine, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with studios in Atlanta and Manhattan, and owned by Paste Media Group.
